In this book, Cohen provides a comprehensive and in-depth treatment of the topic of work commitment. The tone of the work is scholarly and research oriented, and the book is likely to be most appealing to researchers in the area of work commitment, and to faculty teaching graduate courses focusing on this rather specialized area..Two noteworthy features are found at the end of the book, specially a comprehensive and rich list of references on work commitment and a helpful appendix that brings together into one convenient location various scales (28 in all) for measuring different forms of work commitment, including organizational commitment, job involvement, work values, career or occupational commitment, work group or team commitment, and union commitment..This appendix by itself may be worth the price of the book for readers who are interested in the topic or work commitment.

Doctoral students and faculty looking for the current state of knowledge about commitment will be impressed by the multipage tables within the text that summarize the types of commitment used in various studies of commitment, the methodologies used, and populations, studied..The greatest strength of the book by far, then, is its attention to issues of conceptualization and operationalization. The author provides rigorous definitions of various terms in the commitment literature, he explains the interrelationships among different kinds of commitment, he differentiates commitment from other related constructs in the field (such as job involvement) and he does a scrupulous job of explaining measurement issues and challenges in conducting empirical research.
—Academy of Management Review
Reading the book has enhanced my appreciation of the potential of multiple commitments approaches as well as the associated difficulties....a thought-provoking book, providing substantial detail that should be of value to scholars planning to explore multiple commitments.
